The naivety is unreal in these forums. How long will it take before you guys turn on this guy saying he's all about the money ( hint: that's what shareholders require) and not about the gamers . Wake up please. CEOs don't make video games, they are in charge of keeping the entity profitable.
Oh, before you state that if the gamers aren't happy, the money will discontinue, the money has already been acquired through your initial purchase ; the other items are for profit and operating cost. If that money would discontinue so would the game and then onto the next project. Now they can provide free items such as DLCs. I'm sure they have enough money coming in but they don't have to. Also the gaming community is very reliable when it comes to purchasing games. It's what we do. If we didn't we wouldn't be gamers.

Thanks for your reply. I'm sure many don't understand the workings of the corporate world when they make their comments. I suspect as well that with Activision at the helm, the demand for making profits for the shareholders, meeting the demands of the Board, and meeting the high executive salaries are even greater. The unfortunate part of this in the gaming industry is that the real losers of this are the developers, artists, other creative staff and the players. Sad that they are the ones who really make the game what it is, but get shafted the most.

I agree. Its the same in every line of business. The workers keep the machine running while the manager or supervisor will receive credit for keeping them flowing efficiently . The manger does deserve his praise to some degree but without the workers the machine comes to a drastic halt. It would never happen because we all need to work, but what if the artist and designers just placed their coffee down, got up and left their cubicles in one united act of protest. It would be utter chaos. Hope that thought never enters into their creative minds.

No kidding! And it just seems to get worse all the time. Corporate greed is real. No wonder the gap between the rich and poor keeps getting bigger with the middle class disappearing. The Boards and major stockholders in most companies are often executives in other companies, who approve the outrageous salaries for each other. The demand this places on generating revenue just becomes greater while they get richer. It's a sad world we live in when an executive can be at a company for only a year or two and make more money in salary, bonuses, stock, and severance than many people make in a lifetime.
